DIED FROM A Dogs BITE.
Little BOY Taken Down Nine Weeks
After Being Rftfen

TRENTON, Aug. 21.-Jesse Larue, aged 6
years, was bitten in the calf of the leg nine
weeks ago yesterday. The dogs teeth met
IN the flesh. The wound was not cauterized,
but healed nicely in a week. The boy SEEM
ed to suffer no inconvenience from it after it
healed until 10 o'clock yesterday morning,
when he showed signs of hydrophobia. The
first symptom was a slight CONFUSION, in
which his hands and legs jerked peculiarly.
Being offered glass of water, he had hard
er CONFUSION. The boy was at once taken
by his father and brother to doctor in Car
penrerville, Hunterdon county, who is re-
nowned along the line of the railroad for his
dog-bite cures. He said as soon as he saw
the boy that he never had had case SO far
developed, and he feared it was too late How
ever, he gave him medicine and ordered his
removal home. Going across streams in the
cars the boy grew sick at the stomach. Ar
irving home he breathed worse, and all the
worst symptoms of the disease set in. He
trothed at the mouth and barked, and at
times ran about till he fell exhausted Five
physicians stood by quite helpless, viewing
the pitiful spectacle. The case had several
curious features. At 8 O'Clock last evening
the child was quiet and rational. He ex-
pressed desire to go to his room, and was
carried up stairs. He undressed himself and
fell upon his knees and said his prayers, but
the moment he got into bed another convul
sion set in. He suffered terribly for four
gave out, and few minutes before o'clock
he died. The city has had no pound this
summer, and many persons have been bitten
by ownerless dogs.

A Pair of youthful Forger.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Harry T. Cook,
aged about twenty-one, and Charles T.Cook,
his brother, some years younger, were arrest
ed here this afternoon, the elder for forgery
and the younger for collision. Their plan
of operations WAC novel and ingenious and
but for an oversight which they might easily
have avoided they could have gone on indef-
nitely in their course. Harry was discount
clerk in the Columbia National bank. where
he had access to the signatures and accounts
of the banks patrons. 1t has been shown
that he sometime ago disguised himself and
under az assumed name opened an account
in another bank. He then forged the nam g
Columbia bank depositor to series of
checks payable to himself under his assumed
name and got his younger brother to deposit
them. The checks after they had been re-
turned to the Columbia bank for collection
and after they had been paid and entered in
the books, were secured by the forger and
destroyed. The accident which led to the
discovery of the villainy was the fact that
the account of one depositor whose name was
used was overdrawn. He was notified in the
usual way and pronounced the check a ferg-
cry. The culprits are the sons of the late
Professor Cook of this city, inventor of a well
advertised medicine. The name forged to
the checks is Charles R. McLeon. The amount
securek was $3,024.

REV. J. M. LEE.
Services at United church Chape

Services at United Church Chapel
The sermon of Rev. J. NJ. Lee at the Unit
ed church chapel on Temple street yesterday
was of deep revival interest. St. John 1, 36,
"Behold the Lamb of God" was his text. In
most instructive way the speaker traced
this sacri6cial type of the Christian religion
all through the Old Testament and the new,
showing that both would be meaningless
with allusion to this sacrifcial lamb left out.
Many passages in both were quoted confirm
ing this truth. The last quotations were
from the book of Revelations, throughout
which Christ is always named as ''the
lamb" The sublime imagery in the fifth
and the last chapters of Revelations as de-
picted by st. John in burning words OF
power were greeted with thrilling confrma'
ton of the subject of his sermon, "The
Lamb of God slain from the foundation of
the world" The prayers and hymns accord
ed well with the discourse. Touching
allusion was made to the orphans seated in
the galleries on each side as having their
father in God. A large audience attended.

FIRST METHODIST CHURCH.

Rev. MIR. Thomas breaches to Large
Audiences Am Interesting Dis
course.
Rev. w. H. Thomas, of Cambridge, Mass
occupied the pulpit at the First Methodist
church yesterday at both the morning and
evening sessions. The church was we'll filed
at each service.
Last evening Mr.. Thomas took for his text
the last three words of the forty.sixth verse
of the first chapter of St. John: 'Ccme and
see." Mr.. Thomas is gentleman well along
in years. He is possessed of an unusual
amount of magnetism, and rivets the atten-
speaker. His delivery is entertaining. A
few of the thoughts expressed were as fol-
lows The speaker cited some of the am
billions of men-and how they seek happi-
ness of an earthly nature and reap harvest
of disappointment. In our late war there
were great generals who thought they could
lead their armies on to victory. One by one
they failed and dropped out. Others then
took hold and they were victorious.
They did not graduate very high
in their classes. They had done what they
assumed, and consequently achieved great
results. Christ's field of conquest is a simple
one The way of life is plain. Christ aims
simply at the salvation of men. You fire.
quently find a person who selects a mean
man from church and says that if he is a
specimen of Christian he does not want to
become one. And they make this an excuse
for themselves. The test is, try it yourself.
If it makes lower, meaner and more selfish
man of you drop it, run away from it, A
now celebrated man once told me that he
suffered twenty years in his reputation for
this very reason. He was SO poor he had
to accept employment in building cheap
boat for a man; he bought Door material.
When the boat was done everybody said that
he had built it. He had to work
hard and build many after that
to overcome this reputation. Just 80
in Christianity. Material is put in that
ought not to be there and so Christianity has
to suffer for it. Put yourself, I say, into
Jesus hands. That is the test. The true
test is to try it yourself. Another ones test
cannot be acceptedas yours. Don't wait any
longer, but come to the Saviour, is the best
counsel can give. You may prove the i'm
projections and the hypocrisy of others, but
that won't do for you. Christianity can in
spire you and make you happier.
